Understanding Wrinkles
Skin conditions commonly develop as collagen and elastin, vital proteins for skin density and elasticity, diminish with aging, causing expression lines or dynamic wrinkles to appear during muscle movement. Eventually, the skin does not smooth back, and expression lines and furrows remain increasingly more visible when muscles are relaxed.
Understanding Botox
Botox Cosmetic is a medical-grade form of the botulinum toxin used to temporarily block nerve signals, thus blocking muscle movement. The limited muscle movement allows lines and furrows to relax, allowing for the gradual smoothing of expression lines.
The Long-Term Benefits of Botox
Botox offers long-term benefits that go beyond addressing the onset of dynamic wrinkles. As the aging process marches on, consistent Botox injections can offer preventative measures by “retraining” overactive facial muscles. This preemptive action works to delay dynamic wrinkles from becoming deeply etched.
How Is Botox Different From Dermal Fillers?
The essential distinction betweenBotox and dermal fillers is underscored by the different concerns and areas of treatment each is used for. For starters, Botox smooths away and discourages the formation of wrinkles created by repetitive facial muscle movements, offering a more youthful appearance through the forehead and in between the eyebrows.
In contrast to the wrinkle-relaxing effects of Botox, injectable dermal fillers restore lost volume and sculpt contours with precision. Composed of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, they plump up depleted areas and improve skin texture and tone in the mid to lower face, lips, and jawline through increased collagen and elastin production.
